Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea

An entertaining, occasionally illuminating autodocumentary.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

For a film devoted to celebrating intimacy and the breaking down of emotional barriers, Pop and Me is oddly withholding of information about the travelers.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

A documentary made with rigor, humor and no small amount of honest emotion.

LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

The film quickly becomes a vortex of father-son bonding and rivalry, and what could have been a mere travelogue becomes a bumpy exploration of male identity and communication.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

A satisfying, sentimental trip.

Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones

Everybody likes to watch the messy guts-stuff of other peoples' lives, if only because we know then we're not alone in our weird ways.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

A funny, perceptive and seductively engaging movie.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector

Lots of men cry lots of tears in this supremely self-indulgent, supremely moving documentary about making a documentary.

Chicago Tribune John Petrakis

The ultimate shallowness of this film is reflected in the fact that their key bonding moment occurs when they bungee-jump off a bridge together.

Village Voice Amy Taubin

The most revelatory moment is provided not by the spectacle of the Roes clinging to each other on a bungee cord, but by Julian Lennon, who pops up on the beach in Monaco to give a terse evaluation of his father.

New York Post Hanna Brown

A self-indulgent chronicle of Chris Roe's whiny power struggle with his father over where to eat dinner in various exotic locales.
